Similarly, attorneys may not fax documents to inmates or to MCC New York staff for delivery to inmates. 2. Inmates Telephone System (ITS The Bureau of Prisons extends telephone privileges to inmates as part of its overall correctional management strategy. See 28 C.F.LR. $540.100, et seq., Subpart I - Telephone Regulations for Inmate; and Program Statement 5264.07, Telephone Regulations for Inmates. Telephone privileges are a supplemental means of Maintaining community and family ties that may contribute to an inmate's personal development. An inmate may request to call a person of his or her choice outside the institution on a telephone provided for that purpose. However, limitations and conditions may be imposed upon an inmate's telephone privileges to ensure adherence to other aspects of the Bureau's correctional INManagement responsibilities. In addition to the procedures set forth in this subpart, inmate telephone use is subject to those limitations which the Warden determines are necessary to ensure the security or good order, including discipline, of the institution or to protect the public. Restrictions on inmate telephone use may also be imposed as a disciplinary sanction. See 28 C.F.R. Part 541. Inmates must submit a list of numbers they wish to be placed on their approved telephone list. Inmates can only call numbers placed on their approved telephone list. Once an inmate submits the initial list, it will be processed as soon as possible. Inmates may submit additional telephone numbers once they are assiqned a Correctional Counselor or Case Manager from the Unit ™m™ L@am. Inmates are advised of the institution’s telephone monitoring capability. See 28 C.F.R. $540,102. A notice is posted next to each inmate telephone advising that calls are monitored. Ordinarily, calls are paid for by the inmate, but in some cases the receiving party pays. See 28 C.F.R. §540.105. Third party, conference calls or use of two phones on the same number, o other alternative call arrangements are not permitted, thus limiting the opportunity for inmates to use the phones for criminal or other inappropriate purposes. Inmates who use the telephone improperly are subject to disciplinary actions which ay result in the loss of telephone privileges, and in some cases criminal charges. Inmates may place attorneys on their approved telephone list. However, the calls are recorded and subject to monitoring. Such calls are not attorney-client privileged calls. Inmates seeking attorney-client privileged calls must request an unmonitored telephone call as described above in section B{l). Page ll of 22 DOJ-OGR- 00023754
